Nuka Research facilitated a workshop for the Oil Spill Recovery Institute to help them better understand the key decision points and decision-makers that determine whether a new oil spill response technology reaches commercialization, the common obstacles to achieving this, and some ways of overcoming those obstacles. More than 25 participants from state and federal government, oil and gas industry, response organizations, and other non-profit organizations participated in two days of discussions at the University of Alaska Anchorage. A steering committee of personnel from BSEE, USCG, ADEC, and OSRI informed workshop planning. Workshop proceedings are summarized within this report.
